@Chris Carrasquilla I don't support Trump but Dems are doing equally shitty things.. they are manipulating the capitol hill riots to now censor all conservatives and silence them. First thing the Nazis did to Jews was censor them because they were a so-called "threat"
@B Job You missed the point only because you obviously don't like them, so it makes it okay in your head. It shouldn't be a matter of political preference but it is. Sad...
Truth! I am 1/2 Native American. I traveled to South Dakota to do some genealogy research. The reactions of people when they found out what I was doing was very sad. The disparaging remarks about Native Americans in 2020 were very sad.
The story of little Willi Barth broke my heart. We must protect the most vulnerable of every society. I cried when they killed him, after he was so excited about being "accepted" into the military. Absolutely disgusting monsters we have on this planet amongst us even today. Do not be silent. Stand up for the most vulnerable among us.

germany attacked iraq. so what is the point of making these videos. during the iraq war, planes from the rammstein military compound flew to iraq to bomb the cities and people. today germany is allied with france which exploits african countries. europe is the richest continetn in the world yet they let people rather drown in the mideterranian then give them shelter.
I'm from Euskirchen, the town that came up a couple of times in this doku. I once had a project in school where we would go to the city archives of some towns in the area to collect information about people that got euthanized and sterilised during the nazi regime. Some People with disabilities often just physically, got deported to special hospitals and horribly experimented on. Often just children. We collected there stories and told them on an memorial event. Only if we stop telling these stories their murder truly wiped them out and the nazis won.
St Ber.. Wonderful comment. If only all Education systems would educate all students with similar historical facts the world would truly be a better place. Ignorance is what is holding the human race back. There is still hope, for those who are willing to learn.
I’ve been aware of DW for a long time, but only recently appreciated the level of work and types of information they impart to the public. They’ve really set themselves apart from other news organizations. I’m constantly impressed with their documentaries.

I had this cold shiver run down my spine watching this. Don’t we all bleed red when we get cut or injured? Isn’t just being healthy the most important thing in this world? When I was little a black boy saved me from a bad beating by some punks and after that we became great friends me and him. That’s disgusting that we are governed and educated by people who hold these sick views. As Bruce Lee once said we are all one big family under the sky and stars.

@@ICHICH63 first of all, of course everyone should be free to go and live wherever they want. But like in the cases shown in the video, those were these kid's homes. They had family and friends there, spoke the language and just wanted to be included. They should be able to feel accepted in their home countries. Secondly, not everything would be perfect if they went to a mixed country. In Brazil and other places in Latin America, the high percentage of people with mixed heritage also came about because the colonial authorities literally encouraged "breeding out the blackness/ indigenous/...". Idk about Brazil I particular but "mejorar la raza" still is a commonly heard "joke" harking back to this practice. It means to "improve the bloodline" and especially older/conservative people like to make this "joke" when someone with deeper skin colour is dating someone with lighter skin (= presumably more white heritage). This shit is still very much present in many people's heads, even in these mixed countries.
I have learnt so much about the Nazis that I didn't know before. The same thing happened in Sweden and Norway with the women who had children with the Germany soldiers; the children became "personas non grata". My German grandmother, who fled to Sweden when my father was about to be drafted to Hitler Jugend, lived a lonely life here in Sweden as a German. My problem is that I cry all the time as I watch. Thank you very much.
My son is half black, I gave him a live against the wishes of my family. He was only child in 120 000 people in my city in Russian. We got insulted were he was innocent child. It was 2004-2010, now we’re in Canada. But I still worried about his future - racism is still exist.

Even when discussing the Holocaust, there's racism within that, because this particular part is indeed part of the Holocaust, but this is something that has long been ignored, especially in schools in America.
The racism was against Slavs, 15 million soviet civilians and 6 million poles were killed because slavs were viewed as inferior yet you don’t hear much about this
I was physically sick when I saw that the regime was taking photos of those innocent children and breaking them down into pieces and parts to quantify/qualify humanity. Then sterilization of any being. Lord save us from such ideas.
Did you hear recently that Republicans in US Senate are trying pass laws that restrict teaching about Slavery in America. They think erase these deeds by erasing teaching. How stupid because these deeds are written on Souls of African Americans.

@@pinkpolka4229 The only people I can think of that fought for the Americans are the Filipinos and they were actually fighting a guerrilla war to win back their freedom from the Japanese. The Philippines was not a colony in the sense of British and French colonialism. The US granted the Philippines independence in 1946. Britain's grants of independence were hard wrought and only because it no longer could afford the troops it took to keep it's colonies. France was still fighting civil wars with its colonies until the 1950s. France doesn't actually free its colonies but keeps them bound with treaties that force them to use French companies for construction and to borrow only from French banks. France's Haitian colony was more an abandonment than a grant of freedom. Britain's hold is more a romantic attachment called The Commonwealth. I believe The Commonwealth will fall apart upon the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The US kept Puerto Rico but doesn't rule it as a colony. At one time it was a major cog in the Caribbean defense network keeping the Russians and their Cuban client at bay. With the collapse of the Soviet Union PR doesn't hold the strategic value it once did and most of the US military bases have closed. There are discussions within Puerto Rico about becoming a US state or remaining a commonwealth. Statehood would be a mistake in my opinion ( I lived there for four years ) because in its present state it gets all the benefits of a state without an obligation to pay US income taxes. Not that they'd pay any since the majority of the population lives below the US poverty line and wouldn't pay any at all. A large part of the population receives SNAP (Food Stamps) which came to the island in the 1970s and replaced the Mantenga which was the distribution of US surplus dairy products. If the island voted for independence the US would benefit financially on the face of it. But practically, the new nation would just get foreign aid instead, a bribe to keep them away from the new danger, China.

Thank you for this Documentary. I have never heared of these "children of shame" in school in Hessia, Germany and I think this is something that should be talked about more.
I was born in Germany (between Düsseldorf and Cologne). I finished school this year and had history class every week where we discussed almost every little detail from the 13th century until the 1980’s. I never got taught about this. It is a shame. Unbelievable and disgusting how the authorities acted. I was never aware how racist Germany was (even before the Holocaust). Teacher need to teach more about those horrific actions to educate kids and prevent further racism. Thank you for this documentary. I am absolutely heart broken.
Es betrifft leider nicht nur den Nationalsozialismus aber auch andere Geschichtsrelevante Themen, werden teilweise verschwiegen oder nur leicht überflogen und angedeutet.

Vorallem ist es auch erschreckend festzustellen, das sich bis heute nichts an den Lernplänen verändert hat.
@@mollysmeow3455 hi. Jews always keep themselves separate. Jews from the middle east are dark and called Sephardic. European Jews were converts (approx 1500's) in Khazaria. Murano Jews were given a choice to convert to Christianity or be deported; the ones who pretended to convert so they could stay in Spain are called conversos. OK. Today in 🇺🇸 Jews count themselves separate and not white. For further study look up the Ernst Zundel trial in Canada. Mr Zundel was accused of antisemitism for publishing a pamphlet called *"Did 6 million really Die?"* Look up his esteemed attorney Doug Christie too - a free speech champion.

@@KateBates22zabu what are you trying to say? Do you say the Holocaust did not happen? Have you ever been to Germany or talked to a person who lived through those times?
I wish they had been able to interview a person who actually was mixed race, but probably very people if any are alive and want to talk about it, perhaps fearful or ashamed or just too old or physically or mentally unable. Very interesting documentary.
Everywhere women who have relationships with an occupier are not liked. The children are of course innocent, and the racist part is the thing that makes it even worse for those children.
Yeah it must have been scary as all hell. I remembered how the Nazi government did this to disable people. But I didn't know it happened to mix race people too. Some parts of Africa & the middle east join the Axis in WW2. So wtf, I'm not going to try to get in the Nazi's mind set.

Jesse Owens was the most decorated athlete at the Berlin’s Olympics. His top- competitor was a German athlete named Luz Long. Blue eyes, blond hair, the proto-aryan all designated to become the villain we were taught to hate. What hollywood and MSM in the US and antiracist bs groups don’t like about the following true story is that it doesn’t fit THEIR narrative. Luz Long and Jesse Owens became best friends at these Olympics. A bit of research with tell you why. Interesting stuff. And there is this also: "The Nazi officials at the Berlin Olympics", Jesse Owens told reporters. “would invite me in their VIP section, shaking my hand amd congratulating me warmly everytime I stepped down from the podium with a gold medal . I was treated like a dignitary by the Germans. The US president didn’t even bother to call me, for any medal, not once. I returned to the USA a Olympic champion, but I was not allowed to drink from the same waterfountains as the white people, couldn’t sit just anywhere I wanted to on buses. I was not allowed in this bar, that hotel, that swimming pool. None of that was happening in Nazi Germany. I met black folks who were just as German as the blondest of them”.
I myself am a British descent of Myanmar.....I found out that the concepts of racism and racial purity are still holding by some ultranationalists in some countries...like the Burmese ultranationalists in Myanmar.....Though their ideas are not extreme like Nazi's...it is still racist....If I have a chance, I would like to question those who are racists coz I strongly believe that nobody has racial purity as we humans are more or less mixed at one point of our bloodline.... :(

Visiting as many European countries countries as I have,I found Germans to be the most liberal and open minded above other countries. Totally opposite of what Afolf Hitler stood for. There will always be racism however, Germans for the most part are most warm and open minded people. It's unfortunate they will always be stereotyped as Nazis.

Only now ignorance of the truth and facts can no longer be the claim. The hate we see on display now is a willful condition of the hearts of those people. And it's not about ethnic survival. It's about pride and whatever power they feel they receive from satisfying the darkness in and of their hearts.
I just have to say, I feel so bad for the german women who have had to live through all this without ever having any societal power to effect any change. All of this was just put onto their lives when they just probably wanted to live in peace. 😢

This is surprising. But this sentiment is much higher in areas like in the middle-east. How many women from the middle-east or Arabian land are married to males from another ethnicity?

Take the case of Diana.

I watched an interview of a black German woman who was born and raised in Nazi Germany in Hamburg and she said she didn't experience any racism until she married her husband who was an African-American soldier in World War II and she moved to the U.S. Maybe it was because both of her parents were black but she said she never had any issues living in Germany up until she left in 1948.

Such a damn shame there has been so much agony, misery, and death in this world due to someone's skin color and race over the last two centuries. I am only referring to the last two centuries as I know racism and race superiority spanned beyond the last two centuries. Here we are in the 21st century, supposedly civilized, educated, and enlightened, yet racism at all levels is still well and alive. The Jews of Germany in the 1930's never thought that Germany being such a civilized and enlightened country, would ever brutalize and murder her citizens because they were Jewish, Roma, homosexual, Jehovah's Witness, mentally or physically challenged, and the list goes on. We must never forget the wrongs of the past because we are doomed to repeat them if we do.
@@mollysmeow3455 Umm yeah- just making a statement that there has been so much agony, misery, and death related to someone's skin color and race- not inferring in any way that Jews or Slavic people were not white. So, I believe you are over-stepping it just a bit by proclaiming that people just can't understand, primarily in the United States that Jews and Slavic people were classified as white. Race was the issue concerning the Holocaust. Just so that we are on the same page- The Nazis discriminated against not just the "white" Jews, Slavs, etc.- they also discriminated against the black people who resided in Germany at that time.
@@mollysmeow3455 Supposedly, the racist hierarchy of the human race was created by a white American philanthropist Madison Grant who wrote the book "The Passing of the Great Race" (1916). Grant lived in USA's New York City. He lived in the Murray Hill Section of Manhattan. Some Nazis used his book as a defense in trials.
Watching this just makes me think, when I was young I felt accepted I had many friends of all races , now I have this feeling racism can approach a person in the form of jealousy, I understand it's not a new way of thinking or concept but an excuse, a excuse to degrade a persons way of thinking, a person could question themselves, asking where do I really belong, it's only been 70 years since these events in these documentaries took place, and the generations that live in these times the ideology of then lives on, I mean a person only has their own experiences to make sense of things. And again I ask this question is racism the same as going to the shop and having a choice out of what's for sale. Is it actually a choice or is it based on experiences. When I watch these documentaries knowing that it wasnt that long ago life was like this, and its still like this in the minds of many, am I safe from racism, did I get blamed for something a person of the opposite colour would get praised for. Not only is there competition in the work place but now I feel it more, that a person of colour should be below the counterpart that would use colour as a benchmark... Just those words even though I have many more, racism can steal a persons reality . .
I grew up the same way you did. Your wake up call will come, you just must prepare yourself. The generations before experienced it first hand so they're knowledgeable about it. Whomever tells you are just preparing you for what is to come. If you have no knowledge of your past, you are condemned to repeat it.

The documentary is just one part of the "truth". More than 2000 white farmers were murdered in south africa since the end of the apartheid in 1994. Study also, what africans do to other africans.
Sometimes I wonder how humans can be so cruel. Generations after generations, humans would rather yield to their fears rather than confront them. Sometimes we don't even know or truly understand what we're scared of. However, there are candle lights of humans out there who show you why pure evil cannot win.

@OG Pops mind you land masses weren’t always as separate as they are now. Meaning lands move. Do you not think migration happened from Africa? So to say that just because the oldest “may” have been found in Siberia doesnt mean life started there. That means someone lived there and that that instance in time remains were found. That doesn’t prove life didn’t start in the continent of Africa and may have started in other areas.

So much of that is in plain sight, but lacking such a evil mind set that can carry out such atrocities one would never think such horrors could be committed in the first place. I have personally met many of the mixed (adults now) children from Vietnam. Many of them are still searching for their American fathers.
I have often wondered what would have been if Hitler had not come along and exploited the Rhineland issue and other things to start WWII. If you look at a map of Germany in the 1920s compared to today it was a huge country.
The truth has never been told, for those who instigate anger, in their own defence, but the worst of it all for who carried on the guilt in hiding the truth.
Thank you Deutsch Welle for this wonderful and brilliantly informative piece of documentary. What I have learned from this documentary was that the rise of Adolf Hitler's National Socialism and the German Nazi Party was actually somewhat linked to the collapse of the German Monarchy. Something I have never thought of during my time as a history student back in university. I thought Hitler's rise to power was due to the widespread global economic depression in 1929 and German nationalism against the harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles against the German National Interests after it's defeat in the First World War. But not all, as the documentary suggested, many ordinary Germans and nationalists regarded the Weimar Republic and the new democratically elected SPD government as traitors for signing the Treaty of Versailles. They wanted strong man rule, a new figure that can "make Germany great again" after the First World War. Therefore Adolf Hitler capitalized on this situation, by promising the German public to abolish Treaty of Versailles and to "Make Germany Great Again", Hitler automatically became the symbol of the new "German Kaiser". Meanwhile, by signing the Treaty of Versailles, it allowed the French military to pull in African and Asian soldiers to police on German territories, the great racial humiliation contributed greatly to the latter German public's support to the Nazi Party.
Eugenics has a very murky history and its victims are of all skin colours. An appalling number of people were forcefully sterilised in America through the 1930's for having disabilities or being viewed as defective in some way by the authorities.
I'm pretty sure my history teacher was a Nazi sympathizer back when I was in school. Nazi atrocities were always downplayed or outright denied in his class.
I don't blame Germany. You guys needed unification in some way shape or form. Best way to do that is to find a common interest and a difference which can be in a minority. Easiest way is skin color
The great thing is germany will be majority african and asian soon. This is karma but its good because u need diveristy. Its so annoying how some racists try and stop immigration

As an American, I have never learned about this, and I love history. Hitler and the Nazis are always presented here as some inexplicable evil that just arose from the dust between the WWs, more about MGGA than anything. But now it makes sense! I guess if the US told this, then we'd have to admit our part in it. It's good we didn't as no doubt the blame for WWII would've probably somewhat fallen on Black, Arab, and Asian people. I never heard this story from my grandfathers, and they were terribly racist, in the tradition of the very propaganda told here (my lovely mother kept them checked around me), but I'm sure it had an effect on them. Although America already had a huge racist opinion going, needing no help from Germany. I did hear that America exported eugenics in the early 1900s, though.
Its extremely prevalent in Africa. They have murdered their own people And thousands of white farmers Men, Woman , And children as well. Besides ADIS Ibola And Money Pox . Their Racism And other Racists is the Number one senseless killing of innocent people everywhere. If you're not from that country YOU'RE THE MINORITY. Sad indeed.
As a child and as a young student, I was told many personal stories about the horrors of the French occupation of the Rhineland, but nothing about blacks.
only when I did an exchange semester in Japan did I first encounter any POC. Born in 1994, in Austria. This is not some old-fashioned way of living, but it still applies to a large % of the world's population. Most people of today still rarely see any foreigners, guys. Expecially in China, India, and the likes. Just as a reminder of the non-existing globalization.
Interesting. There are black youths in the USA who never encountered a white person well into their late teens or early twenties. For me that speaks of defacto segregation. On the plus side, I hope, those youths had relatively peaceful lives (?) because majority police force are white males.
@@ArtU4All Interesting comment! And I hope so, too, and I agree 100% with you. Imo (and I have travelled to quite a few places) mixing of cultures and races doesn't work... because humans have the "us vs. them" mentality engraved into their DNA. Kids vs. adults, men vs. women, my family vs. the neighbours, students vs. teachers. Only if you destroy all humans will you destroy this mentality. So there is no reason for anyone to be offended about that. Humans are tribe animals. Take away the tribe and the single human will become sick - mentally and physically. Also, and I digress, but I never really understood the word "cultural appropiation", cause the line is very very thin on what is "culture" and what is "mine", what is "yours". Potatoes originate from China, so is planting potatoes in my garden a "cultural" thing that I took away from the Chinese? What is "Chinese"? Cause China is big. Also, how much time has to pass until it is "accepted" that I, as a white person, do something of another "race"'s culture? Almost every "traditional Austrian dish" here is actually from another country. I have met many East Asians, Nepali, Ivory Coast(?), and Khenians in the recent years, and they were all so happy when I tried on their clothes or tried their food. No one was ever "offended" that I wore a hanbok or a yukata. Only do I hear the hypocrite US-media (US-media is not leftwing, btw! Both democrats and republicans are by definition conservative/rightwing parties) cry about such issues, while the actual people themselves don't have any issue with it. To me, the media seems to be censoring minorities' way of life that way. It sounds in my ears like this: "Don't explore other cultures, don't try out anything from them, don't even dare to think about becoming interested in it!" Soon, you will not be able to say "black" anymore. Way to censor black people! If I happen to ever go to the USA, I will definitely not treat any POC like some toddlers whom you need to be careful what you say around. I will treat them with respect and...for the lack of better word: normal! (The media is treating POC like mentally disabled people sometimes, and I am very surprised how hardly anyone is noticing it.) I have worked with a black person from Chicago once and he told me that my way of thinking is not at all offensive to him (I specifically asked him) and he could tell by my "directness" (Germans and Austrians tend to be more direct than where he is from) that he can actually trust that I am not slimy or shady. I might sound like the biggest biggot right now, but honestly, to me personally it sounds rather positive that there are black kids in the USA who grow up with mainly black people. So I agree with you. It will make them become mentally stable (at least much more than what kind of confusion is going on in mixed neighbourhoods) and I regard this less as seggregation, but rather as an opportunity for a rather normal and decent childhood. (Of course, I can't really know what racism feels like. I've only been discriminated against in Korea and China as a white person, but it wasn't really aggressive, dangerous, or "evil". I will never know how people feel who are scared from white police officers.) I just hope those kids are ok, and sometimes I wished the movements of people to the USA and all those colonizations never happened. Maybe the world would have been a bit of a happier place then. Maybe.
Yeah, I can't help but think that the propaganda was primarily, if not solely, fueled with a patriarchic mindset. In other words, it was simply and really all about the male ego -- men being jealous of other men who they believe are taking away the women who they view/treat as property.
Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it!

@@ICHICH63 You can't coerce them to live anywhere just because that's what you want.
@@ICHICH63 first of all, of course everyone should be free to go and live wherever they want. But like in the cases shown in the video, those were these kid's homes. They had family and friends there, spoke the language and just wanted to be included. They should be able to feel accepted in their home countries.
Secondly, not everything would be perfect if they went to a mixed country. In Brazil and other places in Latin America, the high percentage of people with mixed heritage also came about because the colonial authorities literally encouraged "breeding out the blackness/ indigenous/...". Idk about Brazil I particular but "mejorar la raza" still is a commonly heard "joke" harking back to this practice. It means to "improve the bloodline" and especially older/conservative people like to make this "joke" when someone with deeper skin colour is dating someone with lighter skin (= presumably more white heritage). This shit is still very much present in many people's heads, even in these mixed countries.

@@pinkpolka4229 The only people I can think of that fought for the Americans are the Filipinos and they were actually fighting a guerrilla war to win back their freedom from the Japanese. The Philippines was not a colony in the sense of British and French colonialism. The US granted the Philippines independence in 1946. Britain's grants of independence were hard wrought and only because it no longer could afford the troops it took to keep it's colonies. France was still fighting civil wars with its colonies until the 1950s. France doesn't actually free its colonies but keeps them bound with treaties that force them to use French companies for construction and to borrow only from French banks. France's Haitian colony was more an abandonment than a grant of freedom. Britain's hold is more a romantic attachment called The Commonwealth. I believe The Commonwealth will fall apart upon the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
The US kept Puerto Rico but doesn't rule it as a colony. At one time it was a major cog in the Caribbean defense network keeping the Russians and their Cuban client at bay. With the collapse of the Soviet Union PR doesn't hold the strategic value it once did and most of the US military bases have closed. There are discussions within Puerto Rico about becoming a US state or remaining a commonwealth. Statehood would be a mistake in my opinion ( I lived there for four years ) because in its present state it gets all the benefits of a state without an obligation to pay US income taxes. Not that they'd pay any since the majority of the population lives below the US poverty line and wouldn't pay any at all. A large part of the population receives SNAP (Food Stamps) which came to the island in the 1970s and replaced the Mantenga which was the distribution of US surplus dairy products. If the island voted for independence the US would benefit financially on the face of it. But practically, the new nation would just get foreign aid instead, a bribe to keep them away from the new danger, China.

Jesse Owens was the most decorated athlete at the Berlin’s Olympics. His top- competitor was a German athlete named Luz Long. Blue eyes, blond hair, the proto-aryan all designated to become the villain we were taught to hate. What hollywood and MSM in the US and antiracist bs groups don’t like about the following true story is that it doesn’t fit THEIR narrative.
Luz Long and Jesse Owens became best friends at these Olympics. A bit of research with tell you why. Interesting stuff. And there is this also:
"The Nazi officials at the Berlin Olympics", Jesse Owens told reporters. “would invite me in their VIP section, shaking my hand amd congratulating me warmly everytime I stepped down from the podium with a gold medal . I was treated like a dignitary by the Germans. The US president didn’t even bother to call me, for any medal, not once. I returned to the USA a Olympic champion, but I was not allowed to drink from the same waterfountains as the white people, couldn’t sit just anywhere I wanted to on buses. I was not allowed in this bar, that hotel, that swimming pool. None of that was happening in Nazi Germany. I met black folks who were just as German as the blondest of them”.
I cried at the end. That man fought for them, bled for them and was proud to do so... even after what they did to him
I myself am a British descent of Myanmar.....I found out that the concepts of racism and racial purity are still holding by some ultranationalists in some countries...like the Burmese ultranationalists in Myanmar.....Though their ideas are not extreme like Nazi's...it is still racist....If I have a chance, I would like to question those who are racists coz I strongly believe that nobody has racial purity as we humans are more or less mixed at one point of our bloodline.... :(

Visiting as many European countries countries as I have,I found Germans to be the most liberal and open minded above other countries. Totally opposite of what Afolf Hitler stood for. There will always be racism however, Germans for the most part are most warm and open minded people. It's unfortunate they will always be stereotyped as Nazis.

I just have to say, I feel so bad for the german women who have had to live through all this without ever having any societal power to effect any change. All of this was just put onto their lives when they just probably wanted to live in peace. 😢

This is surprising. But this sentiment is much higher in areas like in the middle-east. How many women from the middle-east or Arabian land are married to males from another ethnicity? Foreign males who having a long look at the middle east women are jailed by their law. At the same time, their men went around the world meeting women, particularly from Europe. Take the case of Diana.
Arab men and men in general are naturally protective of their women and preserving their progeny. If a woman is willing why would any man say no?
I thought he was a Frenchmen that happened to have arabic ancestry...
Like my mom always said "Fools are everywhere in every culture on this Planet"

Such a damn shame there has been so much agony, misery, and death in this world due to someone's skin color and race over the last two centuries. I am only referring to the last two centuries as I know racism and race superiority spanned beyond the last two centuries. Here we are in the 21st century, supposedly civilized, educated, and enlightened, yet racism at all levels is still well and alive. The Jews of Germany in the 1930's never thought that Germany being such a civilized and enlightened country, would ever brutalize and murder her citizens because they were Jewish, Roma, homosexual, Jehovah's Witness, mentally or physically challenged, and the list goes on. We must never forget the wrongs of the past because we are doomed to repeat them if we do.
Not last two centuries
@@mollysmeow3455 Umm yeah- just making a statement that there has been so much agony, misery, and death related to someone's skin color and race- not inferring in any way that Jews or Slavic people were not white. So, I believe you are over-stepping it just a bit by proclaiming that people just can't understand, primarily in the United States that Jews and Slavic people were classified as white. Race was the issue concerning the Holocaust. Just so that we are on the same page- The Nazis discriminated against not just the "white" Jews, Slavs, etc.- they also discriminated against the black people who resided in Germany at that time.
@@mollysmeow3455 Supposedly, the racist hierarchy of the human race was created by a white American philanthropist Madison Grant who wrote the book "The Passing of the Great Race" (1916). Grant lived in USA's New York City. He lived in the Murray Hill Section of Manhattan. Some Nazis used his book as a defense in trials.

DW documentaries are of very high quality, informative, and seem to cover a variety of interesting topics. I hope they maintain this high standard.
Watching this just makes me think, when I was young I felt accepted I had many friends of all races , now I have this feeling racism can approach a person in the form of jealousy, I understand it's not a new way of thinking or concept but an excuse, a excuse to degrade a persons way of thinking, a person could question themselves, asking where do I really belong, it's only been 70 years since these events in these documentaries took place, and the generations that live in these times the ideology of then lives on, I mean a person only has their own experiences to make sense of things.
And again I ask this question is racism the same as going to the shop and having a choice out of what's for sale. Is it actually a choice or is it based on experiences.
When I watch these documentaries knowing that it wasnt that long ago life was like this,
and its still like this in the minds of many, am I safe from racism, did I get blamed for something a person of the opposite colour would get praised for.
Not only is there competition in the work place but now I feel it more, that a person of colour should be below the counterpart that would use colour as a benchmark...
Just those words even though I have many more, racism can steal a persons reality . .
I grew up the same way you did. Your wake up call will come, you just must prepare yourself. The generations before experienced it first hand so they're knowledgeable about it. Whomever tells you are just preparing you for what is to come. If you have no knowledge of your past, you are condemned to repeat it.

I have often wondered what would have been if Hitler had not come along and exploited the Rhineland issue and other things to start WWII. If you look at a map of Germany in the 1920s compared to today it was a huge country.
Yes. The horror of WW2 possibly prevented a nuclear WW3.
The truth has never been told, for those who instigate anger, in their own defence, but the worst of it all for who carried on the guilt in hiding the truth.
Thank you Deutsch Welle for this wonderful and brilliantly informative piece of documentary. What I have learned from this documentary was that the rise of Adolf Hitler's National Socialism and the German Nazi Party was actually somewhat linked to the collapse of the German Monarchy. Something I have never thought of during my time as a history student back in university. I thought Hitler's rise to power was due to the widespread global economic depression in 1929 and German nationalism against the harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles against the German National Interests after it's defeat in the First World War. But not all, as the documentary suggested, many ordinary Germans and nationalists regarded the Weimar Republic and the new democratically elected SPD government as traitors for signing the Treaty of Versailles. They wanted strong man rule, a new figure that can "make Germany great again" after the First World War. Therefore Adolf Hitler capitalized on this situation, by promising the German public to abolish Treaty of Versailles and to "Make Germany Great Again", Hitler automatically became the symbol of the new "German Kaiser".
Meanwhile, by signing the Treaty of Versailles, it allowed the French military to pull in African and Asian soldiers to police on German territories, the great racial humiliation contributed greatly to the latter German public's support to the Nazi Party.
Eugenics has a very murky history and its victims are of all skin colours. An appalling number of people were forcefully sterilised in America through the 1930's for having disabilities or being viewed as defective in some way by the authorities.
This literally wasn't even mentioned when we're were studying WWII. As someone who isn't Caucasian this sent sheets down my spine

Im very happy we germans are proud enough to uncover such past mistakes and learn from them. Not many - if any - other nation does this.
I don't blame Germany. You guys needed unification in some way shape or form. Best way to do that is to find a common interest and a difference which can be in a minority. Easiest way is skin color
Like Japan & Turkey.
Your nation was built on the blood and murder of millions, but then again I guess every powerful nation was.
The great thing is germany will be majority african and asian soon. This is karma but its good because u need diveristy. Its so annoying how some racists try and stop immigration

What can i do without DW !!!
Keep supporting DW
As an American, I have never learned about this, and I love history. Hitler and the Nazis are always presented here as some inexplicable evil that just arose from the dust between the WWs, more about MGGA than anything. But now it makes sense! I guess if the US told this, then we'd have to admit our part in it. It's good we didn't as no doubt the blame for WWII would've probably somewhat fallen on Black, Arab, and Asian people. I never heard this story from my grandfathers, and they were terribly racist, in the tradition of the very propaganda told here (my lovely mother kept them checked around me), but I'm sure it had an effect on them. Although America already had a huge racist opinion going, needing no help from Germany. I did hear that America exported eugenics in the early 1900s, though.
Its extremely prevalent in Africa. They have murdered their own people And thousands of white farmers Men, Woman , And children as well. Besides ADIS Ibola And Money Pox . Their Racism And other Racists is the Number one senseless killing of innocent people everywhere. If you're not from that country YOU'RE THE MINORITY. Sad indeed.
As a child and as a young student, I was told many personal stories about the horrors of the French occupation of the Rhineland, but nothing about blacks.
Black people*

@@CL-hs3ku Emphasis on the asterisk.
only when I did an exchange semester in Japan did I first encounter any POC. Born in 1994, in Austria. This is not some old-fashioned way of living, but it still applies to a large % of the world's population. Most people of today still rarely see any foreigners, guys. Expecially in China, India, and the likes. Just as a reminder of the non-existing globalization.
Wait so you haven’t seen poc in Austria
Wow, thanks for sharing. May God bless us all
Interesting.
There are black youths in the USA who never encountered a white person well into their late teens or early twenties. For me that speaks of defacto segregation. On the plus side, I hope, those youths had relatively peaceful lives (?) because majority police force are white males.
@@rue.eudoxie Not until 2015, I kid you not.
@@ArtU4All Interesting comment! And I hope so, too, and I agree 100% with you. Imo (and I have travelled to quite a few places) mixing of cultures and races doesn't work... because humans have the "us vs. them" mentality engraved into their DNA. Kids vs. adults, men vs. women, my family vs. the neighbours, students vs. teachers. Only if you destroy all humans will you destroy this mentality. So there is no reason for anyone to be offended about that. Humans are tribe animals. Take away the tribe and the single human will become sick - mentally and physically. Also, and I digress, but I never really understood the word "cultural appropiation", cause the line is very very thin on what is "culture" and what is "mine", what is "yours". Potatoes originate from China, so is planting potatoes in my garden a "cultural" thing that I took away from the Chinese? What is "Chinese"? Cause China is big. Also, how much time has to pass until it is "accepted" that I, as a white person, do something of another "race"'s culture? Almost every "traditional Austrian dish" here is actually from another country.
I have met many East Asians, Nepali, Ivory Coast(?), and Khenians in the recent years, and they were all so happy when I tried on their clothes or tried their food. No one was ever "offended" that I wore a hanbok or a yukata. Only do I hear the hypocrite US-media (US-media is not leftwing, btw! Both democrats and republicans are by definition conservative/rightwing parties) cry about such issues, while the actual people themselves don't have any issue with it. To me, the media seems to be censoring minorities' way of life that way. It sounds in my ears like this: "Don't explore other cultures, don't try out anything from them, don't even dare to think about becoming interested in it!" Soon, you will not be able to say "black" anymore. Way to censor black people!
If I happen to ever go to the USA, I will definitely not treat any POC like some toddlers whom you need to be careful what you say around. I will treat them with respect and...for the lack of better word: normal! (The media is treating POC like mentally disabled people sometimes, and I am very surprised how hardly anyone is noticing it.) I have worked with a black person from Chicago once and he told me that my way of thinking is not at all offensive to him (I specifically asked him) and he could tell by my "directness" (Germans and Austrians tend to be more direct than where he is from) that he can actually trust that I am not slimy or shady.
I might sound like the biggest biggot right now, but honestly, to me personally it sounds rather positive that there are black kids in the USA who grow up with mainly black people. So I agree with you. It will make them become mentally stable (at least much more than what kind of confusion is going on in mixed neighbourhoods) and I regard this less as seggregation, but rather as an opportunity for a rather normal and decent childhood. (Of course, I can't really know what racism feels like. I've only been discriminated against in Korea and China as a white person, but it wasn't really aggressive, dangerous, or "evil". I will never know how people feel who are scared from white police officers.) I just hope those kids are ok, and sometimes I wished the movements of people to the USA and all those colonizations never happened. Maybe the world would have been a bit of a happier place then. Maybe.
Yeah, I can't help but think that the propaganda was primarily, if not solely, fueled with a patriarchic mindset. In other words, it was simply and really all about the male ego -- men being jealous of other men who they believe are taking away the women who they view/treat as property.
